        Is there a dark mode option? In the settings I cannot select it (no reaction from the listbox)

            Thanks to @messayisto I now have a second phone to test 24.04-2.x , and why the keyboard does not work there.

            From what I see the gtk maliit input context module loads well , and receives the events corresponding to keyboard opening.

            Probably there were modifications made in the Maliit server in the system, and it does not connect well anymore with the gtk maliit input context, which is not very normal as we don't have any more recent version.

            I might contact developers on telegram about that, to know a bit more what has been changed.

              this could be linked to this change:

              https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/packaging/maliit-framework/-/commit/6bd655621fea66af7b9bb3a477b9de072b4939db

              if it is, you may find warnings such as 'Application attempted to activate itself without focus' in the journal.

                Hello,

                After having installed Signal UT on a Fairphone 5 with Ubuntu Touch 24.04.1 the shortcut in the Lomiri menu for the app is called "X11 support" with an X icon. Is there something I could do about that? I assume it's supposed to be a Signal icon with a designation like "Signal UT". Thanks!

                Jeremy

                  Have you read the "tips and tricks" section in the description of the app?

                  " You will only be able to pin the app icon to the system left menu, while you're on the microphone permission page, or while exporting a file to contentHub and selecting the app. "

                  Does it answer your question?

                    @pparent Thanks for getting back to me so fast! And thanks for providing the app! Pinning the app when I'm in System Settings - Security & Privacy - App permissions - Microphone doesn't make a difference. Exporting a file to the content hub can be done with opening File manager, selecting a file and then selecting "Open with another app" and then selecting Signal UT? That doesn't work either. Also when I rotate the screen I see "X11 support" on top on the left. With other apps this name on the top left corresponds with the actual name of the app.

                      @pparent I would also like to hide the top menu but I can't access File - Preferences - General - System - Hide menu bar. If I click on an item in the menu bar the app shifts a little but shows no dropdown entries.

                        @autostatic I also missed the fine print while installing Signal UT the first time. I solved this by removing the app and then reinstalling and pinning the icon while I was asked for permission during installation.

                          You can pin the app while you are exporting a file and while you're on the page to select an app to export to. Just swipe left at that moment, and you will see Signal is in the task bar, pin it then!
